Yeah Old Tyme, I think I'm on board with your opinion about now. I have had to forsake backhand driving temporarily (woeful distance) and went to forehand where I'm crushing (heh) them accurately at 260-270, so at least it's somewhat competitive with casual players. And now that I can at least do that, 2/3 of the remaining game is approach/putting which is monstrously huge.

So I guess it's fair to say that it's one third driving, one third approach, one third putting, and then half of it is 90% mental. (I forgot who said that)

Momac, driving 320' accurately with your backhand if you were standing on your head would seem 'proper' form to me, lol, but I understand you.
